Skin Deep - The Stranglers

Many people tell you that they’re your friend

You believe them

You need them

For what’s round the river bend

Make sure that you’re receiving the signals they send

'Cos brother, you’ve only got two hands to lend

Maybe there’s someone who makes you weep

And some nights loom up ahead

When you’re asleep

Some days there’s things on your mind you should keep

Sometimes, it’s tougher to look than to leap

Better watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep

One day the track that you’re climbing gets steep

Your emotions are frayed

And your nerves are starting to creep

Just remember the days

As long as the time that you keep

Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) Watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep
